The Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration – Capital University extends its warmest congratulations and sincere appreciation to Professor Ahmed Abdelwahab and Professor Sherif Adel Abdelalim on receiving the State Encouragement Award for their outstanding research entitled "Improving the Onboarding Process in Trade Finance Applications Using Blockchain Technology."

This remarkable achievement reflects the excellence of their scientific contributions in the fields of Financial Technology (FinTech) and International Trade Finance. Their research presents an innovative, application-oriented framework that leverages Blockchain technology to enhance and accelerate the customer and business onboarding process within trade finance platforms, improving the efficiency, transparency, and reliability of financial operations.
